Christmas with the Lux's

I am also late getting this post out... Too many Christmas festivities to have time to post them all at once! On the Saturday after Christmas we got together for our new tradition to have Christmas with my Mom's sister and family. Since they have moved to Tennessee we have been trying to make up for all of the lost time when we didnt get to see each other for holidays. Last year we celebrated at Mom and Dad's house. This year we met at Monell's in Gallatin for dinner and then went over to Aunt Linda and Uncle Ron's house for the rest of the night. We had too much fun! I was excited to finally get to go to the famous Monell's. It is one of those places that Nashville is known for. It has family style dining and if you dont go with a large party of people like we did, then you sit at a large dining table with people that you dont know and, "pass the peas..." as they say. We were at the Gallatin location and not the original Nashville one, but the house was so cozy and inviting. The staff even gave us a tour up the winding spiral staircase to the upstairs and the watch tower. I was too afraid to go up in my heels, but Uncle Ron took Connor up to see the view. The decorations were beautiful, as they were as my Aunt Linda's house as well. We always enjoy going over there to see her pretty house. Connor really enjoyed Ryan's room upstairs playing with his drum set! I told the family not to get any ideas! Despite what Aunt Amanda said we DO enjoy some peace and quiet around here. Ha!
Some of my pictures came out blurry and some were provided by my cousin Ronnie and Uncle Ron. Thanks for taking the family picture- boy were we happy! LOL
